Centre for Maritime Archaeology (CMA)

Description

The Centre for Maritime Archaeology is the focus for maritime archaeological research within Archaeology at the University of Southampton. Their members are involved in a wide range of international research and fieldwork projects and members have established strong links with other UK universities, overseas academic institutions and both the commercial and curatorial sectors.

Much of the work conducted within the Centre is multidisciplinary in nature, drawing on the University’s established excellence in marine geophysics, History, Geography, English, web science, computing, ship science and marine geoarchaeology. They collaborate regularly with researchers from across the University, notably from the Archaeological Computing Research Group, The School of Ocean and Earth Science, and Ship Science. Their research projects have a global scope from the Solent to South Asia. Current projects include underwater survey, excavation and heritage conservation in the Mediterranean, investigation of relic palaeolandscapes in the Outer Thames Estuary, and research into the ancient harbour at Suez in Egypt.
